Thomas Midgley Jr is the same guy that invented leaded gas and also invented freon (chlorofluorocarbons). Imagine being the architect of not one but two of the greatest environmental calamities of the industrial age.

I humbly direct you towards the raw milk crowd
Can I please buy a car that's not smart? I don't need my car spying on me.
His mistake was making doors that go like this instead of like this. If you want to be iconic like the DeLorean, the doors have to go like this.
That said, I’m definitely curious but I wonder how can I feel any empathy for them
Don't worry, you won't. They're all pretty terrible human beings. But fuck are they funny.
I quit caring a while back so I could be driving up the numbers.
Buy Canadian isn't always an option. But buying non-American almost always is. And since a huge part of the protest at this time is about putting the US in the penalty box, it's an acceptable tradeoff.
I read the headline and went "what, are they going to start drinking their own piss?"
And the answer was yes. Yes they are drinking their own piss.
All of that seems perfectly reasonable.
And it's also perfectly wrong. Because Telsat Canada has been working on its LEO constellation for about 10 years now. And it goes live in about 2 years.
And yes, it will be superior to Starlink in multiple ways.
Saying cut starlink out is fine and all but there are lots of places and communities without any decent broadband options at all (in Canada and beyond).
You may be unaware, but Telstat will have their LEO constellation and subsequent high speed satellite internet up and running by 2027. A Canadian solution to a Canadian problem.

Not to be that guy, but the Apple IIe didn't have a hard drive. External tape or floppy were your only storage choices. The real cool kids had two floppy drives, so you could pirate games directly disk-to-disk.
